On the RIVER........

[FASTEDDIE29]

Still playing on the rivers this week here and there. The cookie cutter Flatheads are starting to get out of hand. 5-8 lbers seem to be in control right now. Theres also a phenom amount of schoolie Stripers out there as well. Must have caught 30-40, 5-10 inch Stripers while trying to fish for Eels, UNREAL! The Smallie population is very strong these days on the big river. Everywhere I look theres Smallies. Got a few last night on assorted topwaters.

See this 12 inch Smallie! It inhaled a 5 inch Bluegill and tried to commit suicide. She swam off ok but was bleeding really bad. SUICIDE SMALLIE!!!


Cookie cutters everywhere.........................

Awesome report - as always.
I'm astounded at not only the numbers of Flatheads you catch, but the fact that you're also catching them in the daytime.

I have never caught a Flathead, but it's on my list.

Don't feel too bad about the bleeder. If you stick hooks in enough fish, you're occasionally going to release a fish that will exsanguinate and die. It just happens.

I'll take a cookie cutter 5 to 8 lb anything all day long dude! I gotta try that river. Haven't fished it since New Years Day for Walleye!!!

I'm pretty sure your smallest flatties beat my best channels, lol..... Suicide smallie looks like he succeeded. Nice fish!!!

The river man! Nice work dude! The kitties have certainly been cooperating lately. Great to hear about all the little stripers.

I like those Flats Eddie! Awesome! Big-D?

Eddie,

What size were the two flat heads you posted pics of? Just a matter of time before the big girl comes calling. Lot of guys would kill to catch a 5-8 lb flat head!
